On Dec. 5, Lakewood Ranch-Sarasota Lodge #2855 hosted the 2020 Meals on Wheels shoe box drive for the second year in a row. Participants filled 567 shoeboxes with essential items, and gifts were collected at the event. The boxes were distributed to seniors participating in the Meals on Wheels program.  For some, this may be the only gift they receive. Also, $1,140 was collected for Meals on Wheels at the event. In addition to the facility's use, the lodge donated over $1,750 in food and beverages for participants to enjoy. The crowd was less than last year because of the coronavirus pandemic, but those in attendance enjoyed the spirit of giving and the entertainment generously donated by Chuck and Phyllis of Lynn's Spins.
